Whiskey in a Teacup: What Growing Up in the South Taught Me About Life, Love, and Baking Biscuits

Book Description

Academy Award–winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon invites you into her world, where she infuses the southern style, parties, and traditions she loves with contemporary flair and charm.

Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said that a combination of beauty and strength made southern women “whiskey in a teacup.” We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside we’re strong and fiery.

Reese’s southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken. It’s reflected in how she entertains, decorates her home, and makes holidays special for her kids—not to mention how she talks, dances, and does her hair (in these pages, you will learn Reese’s fail-proof, only slightly insane hot-roller technique). Reese loves sharing Dorothea’s most delicious recipes as well as her favorite southern traditions, from midnight barn parties to backyard bridal showers, magical Christmas mornings to rollicking honky-tonks.

It’s easy to bring a little bit of Reese’s world into your home, no matter where you live. After all, there’s a southern side to every place in the world, right?

书名：茶杯中的威士忌：在南方长大教会了我什么关于生活、爱情和烘焙饼干

奥斯卡获奖女演员、制片人和企业家瑞茜·威瑟斯彭邀请你进入她的世界，在那里她将她喜欢的南方风格、派对和传统注入当代气息和魅力。

瑞茜·威瑟斯彭的祖母多萝西娅总是说，美丽和力量的结合会让南方女人成为“茶杯里的威士忌”。她说，外表上我们可能很娇弱，很有装饰性，但内心里我们很坚强，很热情。

里斯的南方传统影响了她的一生，她喜欢与几乎每一个她遇到的人分享南方生活的快乐。无论她去哪里，她都会带着南方，有蓝草，有大型节日派对，有很多多萝西娅的炸鸡。这反映在她如何娱乐，如何装饰她的家，以及如何让她的孩子们过特别的假期–更不用说她如何说话、跳舞和理发(在这些页面中，你将学习里斯的不失败，只是有点疯狂的热滚筒技巧)。里斯喜欢分享多萝西娅最美味的食谱以及她最喜欢的南方传统，从午夜谷仓派对到后院的新娘淋浴，从神奇的圣诞节早晨到滚动的白兰地酒。

无论你住在哪里，都很容易把里斯的世界带进你的家。毕竟，世界上每一个地方都有南边，对吗？
